A beautiful pair of shoes or high heels can instantly make you feel more feminine and attractive.
But do you struggle to find stylish women’s shoes in your size?
In this article, I share my top places to shop for shoes for trans women and crossdressers – particularly if your feet are US women’s size 13 or larger!
How to convert between men’s and women’s shoe sizes
But first, let’s talk about how to convert between men’s and women’s shoe sizes. This actually varies a lot from country to country.
In the US and Australia, there’s approximately a 2 size difference between men’s and women’s shoes.
To find your women’s shoe size, simply add 2 sizes to your usual men’s shoe size. For example, a men’s US size 11 would be women’s US size 13.
If you are in the UK, Europe, or Asia, things are much easier since there’s no difference between men’s and women’s shoe sizes.
However, regardless of the size, keep in mind that men’s and women’s shoes are shaped slightly differently. Men’s shoes are usually wider at the heels.
For that reason, I always recommend trying on shoes before you buy them, rather than relying on the numerical size alone.
Now that you know your shoe size, let’s go shopping!
Long Tall Sally
The ultimate shopping destination for tall women, Long Tall Sally offers large size women’s shoes up to a US size 15. This UK based e-commerce site offers service and shipping within the US, UK, EU, and Australia.
Pleaser Shoes
While Pleaser Shoes prides itself on being the leader in sexy footwear, they offer a range of styles – from sexy to classic and pinup to goth. Most importantly, they offer women’s shoes up to a size 16.
Update: Our lovely reader Jolene has shared that with Pleasers, depending on the style of shoe, a trans woman or crossdresser may need to add THREE sizes to their male shoe size.
FSJ Shoes
FSJ Shoes is a China-based shoe manufacturer that offers a huge array of styles up to a size 15 US. Best of all, they also offer custom made shoes at affordable prices so you can make any shoe dream come true!
Zappos
Being the largest online shoe shop, it should come as no surprise that Zappos offers a wide range of shoes for women with big feet. Zappos also has a generous one-year return policy that includes free return shipping.
Amazon
Amazon has a surprising large selection of women’s shoes up to size 16, including pumps, flats, sandals, boots, and more. As an added bonus, many items are eligible for Prime delivery and free returns.
Payless
Who doesn’t love a good deal? While Payless only offers women’s shoes up to a size 13, they are a great option for affordable footwear if your feet are on the smaller side.
Ebay
Let’s not forget about good old eBay! Ebay has a huge selection of transgender and crossdressing shoes at some incredible bargains. The best part is that you can search for women’s shoes up to a size 19!

Dearest Lucille,
We are one of those “Bigfoot-Goony-Goo-Goo-Sasquatch” types that need 16 W (if not larger from some producers) .
AND, we cannot handle heels that are more than 4″ (3″ are best). Due to our weight, thick heels as we all love on our retro Go-Go boots and Mary Jane’s are idea and much safer.
Honesty moment. I have had two pair of pretty “standard pencil heels” that snapped off the first time I wore them and they were middle market priced. Since they were mail order we could not get a refund.
We need a place like the one portrayed in the movie “Boots” for us super BIG gurlz!!!

I just adore and love to order
women’s shoe size 13 in gorgeous
3 – 5 inch high heel pumps
mostly in shiny patent leather,
or shiny satin,
or flowered designs.
For a better fit for me in this size
is in the wider size 13 high heels .
They just help me look so very feminine
and so sexy, when I wear them with my
black nylon stockings or pantyhose, lingerie, my satin dresses and skirts.
I usually order them online at
Payless Shoes, and they have very affordable prices with fast USPS service.
I absolutely love the high heel pumps I ordered from them.
My favorite high heel pump fashion
designer to buy and wear is
Christian Leboutin.
Does any other t girls like his
high heel pumps too?
Torrid has a nice selection of larger shoes. They have there own sizing so you need to try them on.
My men’s size was 9 but now living as a woman I wear an 11. I usually wear ankle strap sandals cuz my Husband likes me wearing them and usually with a 3″ stiletto heel, sometimes a 4″ heel if he takes me out. He likes me wearing back seamed hose also.
I buy my shoes in various places. I pass as a woman so I don’t have any problems shopping as a woman.
i tend to find or buy mine through app’s certain store’s n places kinda easy for me now wear same size shoes or boots male or female my size is 8 if i go size smaller to small or size bigger to big or loose on my feet however on shoes n boots with narrow toe fitting hurts my toes
I am very lucky: my size is European 41. It is the biggest female size in shops. This way I can buy easily.
For women with average to narrow feet, http://www.marmishoes.com are gorgeous. I wear an 11.5 N or 12 S. Lots of choices for really cute, high quality shoes.
